Make ahead freezer smoothie packets that you can be made for the whole week in under 30 minutes! This makes everyday breakfast a lot healthier & quicker!
Once weekend ends, life becomes super hectic but these days I have been doing a little something extra on the weekends that is not only making mornings so much easier but also much healthier. Instead of running first thing to grab a coffee and paying a stupid amount for a cup of coffee, I grab one of these. All I do is throw a packet of fruit smoothie ingredients, add some yogurt and water and blend. That’s all it takes to my 2 minutes morning smoothies and they are super delicious, packed with lots of fiber that keeps you full until lunch time.
We went to attend a family event and now sitting at the airport waiting for our flight, all I can think of is these chilled smoothies I can drink once back home! These are so good and totally customizable. Just switch with your favorite fruits or vegetables.
Enjoy these for a quick easy and totally yummilicious breakfast tomorrow!
- 5 bananas, peeled and sliced
- 1 pound strawberries, cleaned and chopped
- 2 apples, chopped
- 1.5 cups yogurt or as per taste
- Honey as per taste
- Cold water to make smoothies as thick/thin you want
- 5 tbsp chia seeds (or flaxseeds ) (optional but delicious)
- I get all the ingredients ready and fill 5 zip lock bags with equal amount of bananas, apples, strawberries, chia seeds. I close them tightly and freeze them.
- Then whenever I need, I take out one packet from freezer, empty it in a high speed blender, add ¼ cup or so of yogurt, some cold water and honey and blend until smooth.

March 3, 2016 at 5:33 AMWhat a great idea, Ami! We love smoothies around here…especially taking them on road trips in the summer. But I never seem to think ahead enough to have the ingredients on hand. I love this simple little trick! Smoothies here I come!
